Marvelous in My Monday!



Why is today Marvelous, you may ask? Well, because...

Today is my BIRTHDAY!!! 

Birthdays are the BEST! It's a snowy day here in Maine, so I got to wear a few of my birthday gifts to ME! My awesome husband gave me some shopping money-the man knows the way to my heart. Love him!




Black Skinnies: Target
"Marshmallow" Cowl Neck Sweater: Old Navy
Waffle-Knit Sweater Scarf: Old Navy
Sweater-knit Gloves: Old Navy

I'm feeling all warm & cozy today :) 

I just may have ordered myself a couple more gifts as well...

I couldn't resist myself from the 40% off coupon for this Jessica Simpson "Andrea" (now sold out) satchel (LOVE python print!):


And, of course I needed new shoes to go with it! I have a pair of python print sandals, but I can't wear sandals in the winter, so DSW to the rescue (and I got a birthday discount from them!):


Impo Treeble II Snake Bootie
On Friday, my staff at work had a little party for me :) 

We had tiramisu!


And gifts! They certainly know me well! Check out my goodies: an Ulta gift card, a Hallmark Barbie Shoe Chandelier ornament (!), a stylish little bag, necklace, & bracelet:



Look at this ornament...is it me or IS IT ME?!



Then to top it off, Freda surprised me by ordering this set for me:


I had this set and wore it quite a bit. Then, it got left behind in India. She ordered me a new one! 

Birthday aside, I will tell you that the most marvelous thing about today is the fact that my kids are safe. After Friday's horrific events in Connecticut, I am so very thankful. I am scared, but am also trying to not live in fear and to be thankful for every moment we have together. This picture was taken when I picked them up at school for their Nutcracker dress rehearsal on Friday afternoon:

So sweet & innocent...telling each other about their day. 
And here they are dressed as angels for their performance:






When I went through their backpacks this weekend, I found this:

Sisterly Love! How sweet is that?! 

I hope you all have a Marvelous Monday!
